The 4G mobile broadband modem will be built into the Dell's Inspiron 14, Inspiron 15, Mini 10 as well as Toshiba's Satellite M645. Certain notebooks carry an associated $100 discount if bought with a two-year Clear 4G contract, but all should be available contract-free.

CLEAR service has no monthly usage caps and offers up to 6Mbps real-world download speeds and 1Mbps upload speeds. Mobile plans start at $40, while the notebooks themselves vary in price depending on the configuration and the model.
